Donnie, My dear cousin, I'm so thankful to have met you less than five years ago. Thank you for your love, for giving me hugs, and for inviting me to the Thanksgiving function during the pandemic lift. I enjoyed our conversations and texts, so this is difficult for me to not have you around physically. I know that I will see you again, and I will hold onto our memories with pictures to help along the way. We always ended our conversations by saying "LOVE YOU", so that will always Live On Forever in my heart. A beautiful soul, a beautiful person inside and out, is NEVER forgotten. Jay, Your Mother was and is a beautiful soul, and I am deeply sorry for your loss. I feel that she is looking down on you, with a smile, on how you were there for her day by day. GOD will keep you Lil Birthday Cuzn in HIS Arms and shower you with comfort during this difficult time of grief. Please know that I'm here for you. My thoughts are with you and your family. Wherever a beautiful soul, like Cuzn Donnie, has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories for us all to hold onto. GOD Bless You Family and Let's keep the family in prayer daily. Rest in peace Donnie and I'm thankful for the time you provided with unconditional love for me and sharing family history within conversations. Heart to Heart Sympathy, Stephanie L & Family

Sending our condolences to my Copeland cousins (her children and her sisters). Grieve at your own pace during the difficult days ahead. Donnie's worst days are behind her. The family chain has been broken again. Good news - no more pain for Donnie. The love she shared and the memories you hold today and tomorrow...will never fade. A day will come when you will laugh again and smile when you hear her name. It's ok to cry because your heart is broken. But what I know for sure - God will heal the broken heart, if you trust Him. I will never forget how the Copeland sisters helped my brother Douglas, when we couldn't be there. Douglas had no problem calling you to say - come pick me up. I'm forever grateful. We love you. With sympathy, Franklin and Shrone Franks Wooten, Stafford, VA.
